OMG, you fancy yourself as some military expert and mock others whom you think don't know what they're talking about, and yet you don't know that these are cluster munitions fired as artillery rounds from Howitzers, not from "air power," meaning aircraft, although I suppose artillery could be considered air power because the shells fly through the air. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66134663 Quote Officials are planning to send artillery shells to Ukraine, with each containing 88 separate bomblets, according to US media reports. They would be fired from Howitzer artillery weapons already deployed by the Ukrainian army. Add this to your idiocy regarding aircraft transporting tanks. lol.

It’s a provocative measure to get Russia to do something. Also desperation. They'll use off the shelf drones to deploy individual smaller detached bomblets a few at a time. The original artillery casing can be reset with more traditional ordinance. The effectiveness is based on wounding the enemy, not killing them. Wounding a soldier badly is a massive resource drain on any military force. Killing someone is logistically more simple. You put them in a bag and you ship them home. Or you bury them there. Failure to care for your wounded impacts morale, which impacts unit cohesion, basic combined arms coordination and combat effectiveness. The individual "bomblets" will be useful for taking out vehicles. Also sowing terror behind enemy lines where they are entrenched. It's very difficult to defend against small off the shelf type drones with limited payload packages. Using traditional artillery makes those big guns a target. There is a MASSIVE pipeline of off the shelf drones entering Ukraine from other countries. As you move into more hardened areas, the impact of the bomblets becomes exponential. A bomblet hitting concrete and the ensuing splash damage is more devastating than one hitting someone in the open field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted July 9, 2023 The Russian Grain Deal: Russia allowed Ukraine to ship grain out of its Odessa port on the Black Sea to help feed hungry areas of the world during the Special Militfary Operation. However, it is rumored that Ukraine has been using the grain deal to sneak in huge shipments of weapons and ammo. Putin wants to break the deal but if he does, then he gets accused of being untrustworthy and starving the poor in the world. So yesterday we had Zelensky visit Edrogan in Turkey, the leader of the nation. He received several Ukrainian prisoners (of the Azov battalion) and brought them home, when it had been agreed to keep them in Turkey at least until war's end. The grain shipments go thru Turkish ports. So what we are likely to see in July is Putin breaking the grain deal because the Azov prisoners got released as that provides him political cover, which means shipments of fresh weapons and ammo will dry up really fast for Ukraine. Its possible Edrogan released those prisoners to help Putin and Russia by giving him such cover. Hard to say. Edrogan has been working with both Zelensky and Putin during the war, but wants to broker a peace deal. shutting off the spigot of weapons and ammo to Ukraine may push Ukraine to sue for peace. https://www.thedailybeast.com/kremlins-not-happy-zelensky-brought-azov-commanders-home-from-turkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted July 10, 2023 Ukraine is running out of ammo. They have no missiles and are resorting to repurposing old Soviet S200 missiles which are inadequate for ground targets but we will see what they can come up with. It is amusing because when Russia started using old Soviet tanks, the MSM mocked them but now that Ukraine is forced to use old Soviet missiles, the MSM is quiet. https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/ukraine-s200-ballistic-strikes-russia Amid growing reported shortages of surface to surface missiles, the Ukrainian Military has repurposed Soviet S-200 surface to air missile systems to fire their primary munitions ballistically for strikes on Russian targets. The areas targeted include the Crimean Peninsula and the Rostov and Kaluga regions in the southern and western Russia. Four V-880 missiles were fired, with chief of the Russian Air Force General Staff Viktor Afzalov reporting two were neutralised using electronic warfare assets and another two kinetically intercepted. "There have been no casualties or destruction," the Defence Ministry reported. Gerasimov nevertheless instructed the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces to identify storage units, training sites and launch positions of Ukrainian S-200 systems and similar assets. The S-200 formed the backbone of the USSR’s long range air defences into the 1990s, before being phased out in Russian in favour of longer ranged new variants of the S-300 and S-400 systems. With an engagement range of 300km against aircraft, the system could potentially reach targets well over 500km away if fired ballistically. Biden also stated that cluster bombs are a must because Ukraine is running out of ammo. https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-sending-ukraine-cluster-bombs-running-out-ammo-2023-7 Biden said he decided to send Ukraine controversial cluster bombs because Kyiv is 'running out of ammunition' Alia Shoaib Jul 8, 2023, 6:11 AM PDT President Joe Biden defended his decision to send Ukraine controversial and deadly cluster munitions, explaining it was because Kyiv was "running out of ammunition" after 500 days of war. "It was a very difficult decision on my part. And by the way, I discussed this with our allies, I discussed this with our friends up on the Hill," Biden told CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Friday. "The Ukrainians are running out of ammunition," he added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegeneral 3,065 Posted July 10, 2023 Sweden approved to join NATO NATO gets stronger. “The agreement was reached in the final hours before a NATO summit in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius on Tuesday, paving the way for NATO to expand across more than a thousand miles of territory straddling the Baltic Sea, shifting the balance of power in Northern Europe and creating a potential chokepoint for Russian warships and aircraft in the region. It allows NATO to enter its annual summit having ironed out major differences, projecting unity in the face of Russian aggression.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
